The first session will take place on Tuesday, 17 October at ICC Sydney and is set to challenge attendees with a bold and news-making debate about AI, gender stereotyping and bias, the challenges and possibilities of machine learning while posing the question Are We Doomed?
Robyn Foyster will appear alongside Skarktank’s Dr Catriona Wallace who is a metaverse and AI specialist; journalist and author Tracey Spicer; and entrepreneur, CEO and finance guru Shivani Gopal.

The discussion promises to be an engaging and dial-moving discussion about gender inequity in the tech sector.
Robyn will also announce her upcoming book Gamechangers: 100 Women Disrupting Tech at SXSW Sydney 2023. The book will celebrate women of all ages from diverse backgrounds who are at the forefront of making an impact on gender equality through the power of technology.
